Marsh Tit
Poecile palustris (Linnaeus, 1758)
Paridae — Tits, Chickadees
Marsh Tit, Poecile palustris, is a passerine bird of the tit family that breeds widely across the Palearctic. It is found throughout temperate Europe and northern Asia, and also in a range of habitats that includes dry woodland. Its close likeness to the willow tit can make identification difficult, especially in the United Kingdom, where the local forms of the two are very similar. The species was not treated as separate from the willow tit until 1897. It was described by Linnaeus in 1758.
